About this ebook
A genius, hairless, seven-foot-tall psychopath, Leonard Land is many people wired into the cyber-subculture of Satanism and Death Metal. He is smart and cunning. He is quick, brutal and deadly. And he is everywhere. A renegade U.S. customs agent, a brilliant and beautiful forensic phychologist and a streetwise convict master hacker are on the trail of the maniac who is methodically slaughtering innocent women -- a hunt that is leading a trio of unlikely heroes across an imperiled nation...and deep into the darkest corridors of cyberspace. But there is no system the maniac cannot infiltrate, no secrets he cannot access. He knows he is being hunted...and by whom. And he's determined to strike first -- in ways too terrible to anticipate.

Reviews for Final Victim

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A ghastly serial-killing internet genius is taken on by three flawed, vengeance-seeking people. Gripping story that pulls you along. I was almost put off by the crippling flaws described for two of the heroes set out in the book's opening chapters (which suggested these might poisonously saturate the plot) but I'm glad I continued. Not as blood-soaked as a story about a sexually-driven killer story would suggest. I found it a very good story with a satisfying ending.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5In this novel, irreverent US customs agent John Lockwood assembles a team including a beautiful PhD and a computer whiz ex con to track down a Florida serial killer. Leonard Lane, is a little different than the average serial killer. He’s an obese man of genius level intelligence. There is a good bit of violence as they reach the killer and John has to rescue Karen, one of his team members, from a certain death.This novel was a big disappointment after having read some of Cannel’s previous work. It was not nearly at the same level. The plot was not coherent and the narrative had a bit of a rambling quality to it. It seemed like the author was trying too hard to make Lockwood cool, and not fit the norm of typical protagonists in thrillers. I would avoid this novel and instead read White Sister, which was a much better novel from Cannel.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street
